Description

On this stretch of trail enjoy ridge-walking with beautiful views. The climbs are moderately difficult, but once the ridge is reached the walking is relatively easy. The cliffs are dangerous in wet conditions, be sure to watch your footing. Views stretch to Talcott Mountain and Meriden to the northwest and Long Island Sound to the south. Black Pond sits at the base of the cliffs. While hiking you will also pass under the chair lifts at Powder Ridge Ski Area.
